Summary
Janet Crowe, a cattle producer from West Plains, Missouri, told the committee the Working Families Tax Cut provides stability, makes it easier to pass her family farm to the next generation and "allows us to expense out a 100% of all of our expenses for the year," which she said is retroactive to 2025.
Janet Crowe, a cattle producer from West Plains, Missouri, told the House Committee on Natural Resources that the Working Families Tax Cut provided her family’s farm with “stability” and helped enable intergenerational transfer.
Crowe said the measure reduced what she called “that tax burden of a death tax,” and added that it allowed her family to pass property from her parents’ generation to hers and, she expects, to her children’s generation. She also said the law "allows us to expense out a 100% of all of our expenses for the year, and that's retro back to 2025."
The remarks were delivered as public comment. Crowe framed the tax cut as a practical financial change for small agricultural operations: it stabilizes cash-flow planning, reduces estate-related tax exposure in farm succession planning and, she said, permits immediate expensing of operating costs. Crowe thanked Congress for passing the bill.
